Phoenix Gold ATi6 6.5-Inch In-Wall Speakers, White (Pair)

Price: $189.95
     
Editorial Reviews: 
Every aspect of Phoenix Gold Speaker design starts with hardcore research. Built from the ground up, Phoenix Gold products offer the most thought out, totally dialed in sound while providing year after year of sonic excellence!
Save space without sacrificing sound quality with this pair of Phoenix Gold ATi6 in-wall speakers. Each two-way speaker is equipped with a 6.5-inch polypropylene cone woofer for the low and mid-range frequencies and a 1-inch pivoting tweeter that handles the highs. The upshot is a high-performance speaker with a wide frequency response of 40 Hz to 20 kHz. More importantly, the speakers are designed to flush mount within the walls of your living room, bedroom, or kitchen, where they'll reproduce your favorite music or movie soundtracks while taking up a single inch of shelf or floor space. Each ATi6 even includes a paintable grille, so you can alter the speakers' appearance to match your wall or furniture colors.

Further enhancing the sound quality are the swivel tweeters, which users can angle toward the main listening area for the best possible directional sound. The swivel tweeters remove the stigma of many in-wall speakers, which otherwise limit your listening options by emitting the high frequencies in one direction only, where they can easily get lost amidst the room's acoustics. Add in the tweeters' treated ferro-fluid-cooled voice coils, which extend the highs and minimize distortion, and you'll enjoy crisp, intense audio that fills up the room.

Additional features include a moisture-resistant housing (appropriate for hot tub enclosures and other traditionally "wet" indoor locations), a power handling capacity of 200 watts, and Butyl rubber surrounds for durability. Each speaker requires a mounting cutout of 7.62 by 10.81 inches (W x H) at a depth of 3.38 inches.

Custom Reviews: 
Speaker is excellent
5 out of 5 stars.
Nice sounding speakers. You cannot tell the difference between the expensive brands and this one. I am using them as real speakers in my surround system and the sound is incredible. It has a deep pure bass and crisp highs. Thanks Amazon for carrying such an excellent product.

Perfect Speakers for my needs.
5 out of 5 stars.
I did quite a bit of price comparison and hedging when trying to find in-wall speakers for my new game/rec room. I finally went with two pairs of these speakers (for my main speakers and surrounds) after reading the reviews. Couldn't beat the price. I figured if they sounded 'okay' it would be a good buy.

After hooking them up (along with an in wall sub woofer and center speakers) to the new receiver I got for xmas I was blown away. I'm very happy with these speakers. They were easy to install. Sound great. and the price was right.

Exceptional Value
5 out of 5 stars.
The five stars that I used to rate this product is because of the value they represent, not because they're the greatest speaker to fit in a wall. I am using them as secondary main speakers, and they do the job very well. To a big degree, getting them mounted in the right place at the right height in a room with decent accoustics is key, and arguably as important as the speakers themselves. They were also pretty easy to install. I bought a hand saw that was made specifically for cutting drywall for about $4, which worked fine. The templates to cut the holes were easy to use too. I would be very surprised if anyone ordered these speakers, installed them as they were supposed to, and did not like them.

Solid Speakers for the Money
4 out of 5 stars.
I was not familiar with this brand but purchased them and mated them to
a Pioneer receiver. The sound is great & installation was easy.
They are quality made.

Quick, Easy, Great Sound
4 out of 5 stars.
These speakers are fantastic, especially for the $$. They are extremely easy to install, whether you are installing in new construction or existing walls, the simply pop right in. Spring-loaded clamp-style pins make attaching the speaker cable quick and easy, and also provide the best possible connection. The sound that these speakers produce is well balanced, not too much high or low, and the speaker heads swivel (a couple degrees in each direction) so that they can be pointed to the focus of the room. All-in-all a worthwhile investment.
